Welcome to The List,
They say you are your OWN worst critic. Cody Johnson is no different…. He says he can’t stand to listen to his songs after he’s recorded them “When I hear, because I play live so much. When I hear my recordings, they don’t always come back the way I want them. I’m always ‘Ah I don’t like THIS..or we’ve changed it on stage.” He says that you poor yourself and time into the studio for so long, by the time it goes out to everyone he doesn’t want to listen to music for a month or two.

Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock, met in a very awkward way…”The ‘Lost City” actors met at their daughters preschool principal’s office.

The Army says two Blackhawk helicopters near his Tennessee mansion were just on a Nashville training route, but now they’re checking into why they hovered there. Kid says nobody’s getting in trouble and called it pretty neat. Nothing says casual Tuesday like cannonballs, patriotism, and two black helicopters hovering near your house…

Thomas Rhett says one of his favorite parts of touring is trying wild new foods on the road, which sounds adventurous and expensive. Meanwhile Dylan Scott keeps it a little more backyard chaos at home, admitting he’ll wander into the kitchen at midnight and cook a full meal like it’s noon. His wife wakes up confused; he’s making dinner round two. That’s not a snack, that’s a second shift.
